Welcome to Østfold
It is a great pleasure to welcome you to the World Cup in Østfold - Norway 31 August – 2
September 2018. World Cup 2018 and World Orienteering Championships 2019 will be
held in Østfold, one of 18 regions in Norway. You will find it in the south-east part of
Norway, close to the Swedish border. Østfold has unique areas whether you like hiking
in the forest, visit an idyllic town, enjoy our beautiful coastline, visit tourist attractions or
just enjoy one of many activities that we offer. Either way, we promise that you will be in
good hands.

Orienteering is a sport with long traditions in Østfold. For example, in Halden, where we
find some of the best orienteers in the world. Halden Skiklubb has produced a number
of world orienteering champions over many years, but also Fredrikstad, Sarpsborg and
Mysen have world elite runners. During the last couple of years, several major national
orienteering competitions have been held in different cities of Østfold. The Norwegian
O-festival - Norway’s largest orienteering race, was hosted by Sarpsborg in 2016, and the
Norwegian orienteering Championship was staged by Halden in 2017.

Therefore, we are sure that we will be well
prepared to welcome the world elite runners, both
in 2018 and 2019, when our orienteering clubs join
forces to organise the events. That will be the
fourth time the WOC is staged on Norwegian soil,
and we are incredibly proud that this assignment
has been awarded to Østfold for the first time.

We will do our best to support the organizer.

We look forward to three days of major sporting
achievements, drama and excitement and not least
good companionship.

Enjoy!

Ole Haabeth,
Chair, Østfold county council

The punching system to be used
EMIT Touch-Free punching and timing system is used on all World Cup races. Each
runner will carry two emiTags around the same wrist. The punching is performed by
holding the emiTag 0 - 50 cm from the control for a short moment. The LED light in the
emiTag will start flashing after successful punch and will keep flashing for 5 seconds. It
will be possible to test the system at the technical model event. Timekeeping services
are provided by EQ Timing.

GPS system to be used
Tracking devices will be used for viewing the competitions on the large video screen in
the event arenas, for live transmission, and as part of the TV production. All competitors
should be prepared for GPS tracking, and the electronic tracking device has to be carried
on the back of the competitor in an elastic harness. More detailed information about
this will be released in Bulletin 4.

LONG
Date                  Friday 31st of August

Format                Shortened long distance (winning times 60-62 minutes for women,
                      75-80 minutes for men).

Location              Aremark

Terrain:              The terrain is medium undulating with mostly open pine forest with
                      good runability. There are signs of forestry in part of the terrain with
                      felled areas and more dense areas with young forest. It's a lot of
                      marshes in the terrain. The runability in the wet part of the terrain is
                      reduced because of high grass.

                      second-last group being the next 15 highest-ranked, and so on), with

PURSUIT
Date                  Saturday 1st of September

Location              Aremark

Terrain:              The terrain is alternating between parties with open forest with
                      mostly pine, to areas with dense, mixed vegetation and reduced
                      visibility. Some areas are old open spruce forest with very good
                      visibility and good runnability. There are some felled areas, both new
                      and some years old. The terrain alternates from relative flat to
                      medium steep. Some marshes and re-entrants are grass-covered,
                      but still have good runnability.

Quarantine            At the arena. Check in from 15:00 to 16:40 (women) / 16:50 (men).

Transport to start Marked route

Starting order        The time each competitor starts after the leader in the pursuit race
                      will be double the amount of time they were behind the leader in the
                      prologue, with final results being the order across the finish line.
                      Competitors more than 8 minutes behind the winner in the prologue
                      will take part in a mass start 20 minutes after the first start in the
                      pursuit, with their final result to be on the basis of the sum of twice
                      their prologue time, plus their pursuit time; they will be ranked after
                      all finishing competitors in the ‘normal’ pursuit. Competitors who are
                      not placed in the prologue may start in the mass start but will not
                      receive an official result.
